Spicy Blue Cheese Potato Chips (or crisps for my U.K friends) are like spicy potato chip nachos. With just 3 ingredients, this really is the fastest and easiest snack or appetizer.

I first discovered this dish years ago when my husband took me to a Scottsdale spot called AZ/88. They call them ‘Hell’s Fire Chips’ – and if you’re a hot sauce fan, the name definitely lives up to the hype.

The hot sauce of choice (and of AZ-88) is Arizona Gunslinger Jalapeño Sauce. The deep smokiness works so well with the tangy blue cheese. You can actually use any smoky hot sauce you like, I have yet to find one that didn’t taste good.

I use this sauce in other dishes like my Sonoran Jalapeño Lime Sauce which is a dressing and marinade that I use in Mexican Grilled Corn and Squash Salad.

When it comes to the potato chips/crisps, unsalted is ideal because of the saltiness of the blue cheese. Also, if you’re so inclined, you can gild the lily and add crispy bacon bits.

I also make a low carb/keto version of this recipe replacing the chips with mini sweet peppers. Check that out here > Spicy Blue Cheese Mini Sweet Peppers.

  • Jalapeño smoky hot sauce, I use Arizona gunslinger

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven broiler (grill if you’re in the U.K).
  • Using an oven-proof baking sheet, arrange the chips in an even layer, slightly overlapping so the crumbles don’t fall through.

  • Serve immediately drizzled with hot sauce
